Pan Seared & Baked Chilean Sea Bass from Costco With Asparagus

Defrost 0.5 pounds of frozen chilean sea bass in lukewarm water for about 40 minutes.

Cut off the bottom part of 1 pound of asparagus to remove the chewy ends.

Spread the asparagus out on a tray and spray with cooking oil.

Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, basil, and black pepper on the asparagus.

Rinse the thawed chilean sea bass and dry it slightly.

Sprinkle salt, onion powder, and garlic powder on the chilean sea bass.

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.

Place the asparagus in the oven and set the timer for 12 minutes.

Sear each side of the chilean sea bass in a pan on medium to high heat for 2 to 5 minutes, checking at 2 minutes to avoid overcooking.

Remove the chilean sea bass from the pan and place it on a baking tray with a slice of butter on top.

Put the baking tray with the chilean sea bass in the oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for around 7 minutes.

Check the temperature of the chilean sea bass; it should be a little over 145 degrees Fahrenheit.

Plate the chilean sea bass and serve with asparagus.
